After 22 years of getting relegated, the Tractor Boys beat Huddersfield 2-0 at Portman Road to secure a second successive promotion, having finished runners-up to Plymouth in League One last season.



Kieran McKenna's side already had a three-point advantage over third-placed Leeds going into the final game of the season and only needed a draw to secure promotion from the Championship.

Ipswich became the first club since Southampton in 2012 to gain back-to-back promotions from the third tier to the Premier League, while the result sealed Huddersfield's relegation to League One.

Thousands of Ipswich fans gathered outside the ground before kick-off with some setting off smoke bombs and flares.

Ipswich town have now joined Leicester City to be promoted to the premier League, the third spot will be decided in the championship playoff later this month.
